LAM P-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,991, dated July 16, 1889.

Application filed April 2'7, 1888. Serial No. 272,008. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH IV. BROER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form partof this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved oil-stove, the heating-drum being partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a central vertical longitudinal section through the same with the drum removed. Fig. 3 is an end view, partly broken away. Fig. & is a top plan View of plate I. Fig. 5 is a detail view of plates E and 0. Figs. 6 and 7 are detail views of the burner-cones, and Fig. 9 is a view of the top plate of the drum.

This invention is an improved lamp-stove; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Refer-ring by letters to the drawings, A represents the bottom frame of the stove, which is rectangular and provided with a cross piece A and with feet A.

a are four upstanding lugs rising from the sides of frame A, and ct is a short stud rising from one end thereof.

a are perforated ears projecting laterally from the side rails of frame A.

I3 is the oil-tank, also rectangular, open at top and supported 011 frame A, being kept in position by lugs a and stud a.

B is a feed-pipe in the end of tank B.

Z) is an inclined division-plate secured transversely in tank 13, at one end thereof, and having notches in its edges to permit the gradual flow of fluid from one compartment to the other, and it prevents undue splashing of the oil in the tank on the side below the burner and overflowing of the joints when the stove is moved.

0 is a dished metal plate supported on tank B, and C are perforated ears projecting laterally from the plate at points corresponding to ears (1 of plate A.

c are bolts passed through the ears of plates A and C and binding them together, thereby securing tank ll in place.

The depressed portion D of plate 0 forms the water-pan above the larger compartment of tank 13, in which it depends.

D are wick-openings in pan D, and D" are flanges surrounding said openings and rising above the surface of plate 0, so that no water can enter tank ll. At the other end of plate 0 is formed a dish (I, in which. water may be placed or on which utensils can be laid.

E is a rectangular frame superimposed on plate 0 and provided With depending lugs E, the concaved ends of which rest upon the convexed ends of lugs a and support. frame E thereon.

E are countersunk holes in the sides of frame E, and e e are bolts passed therethrough and engaging lugs a. of frame A, binding plate E in position.

6' are studs rising from the corners of frame E and concaved in their upper ends, as shown.

6 are bifurcated lugs rising from the inner corners of frame E, and f is an upstanding flange on the inner end of frame E between studs c.

G- is a plate having openings G, surrounded by depending flanges G. This plate is set on flanges D,its flanges G entering flanges D. Sheets of asbestus or non'heat-condueting packing are interposed between plat-e G and flanges I). Plate G is beaded or flanged at its upper edges to shed fluids through openings G.

g is a metal disk resting on frame E, its center being cut out to accommodate plate Gand perforated for the passage of rods F F, which rise from plate E.

g is an upstanding foraminous plate on the periphery of disk g, having cuts at one side to accommodate the stems of the wickratchets.

The burner has a base-plate ll, and in the present instance two wick-tubes II II, which project below base H and are provided above said plate with ratchet-offsets h, in which work ratchets h, the stemsof which project outside band g. The ratchets h are made wide, so that they will not cut the wicks. The burner is placed over plate G and disk g, the depending portions of its wick-tubes entering the flanged openings of plate G. Base 11 is perforated for the passage of rods F,upon which are nuts that hold the burner securely on plate E and bind plate G and disk 9 in position.

The heater-drum Z is constructed as follows:

I is a metal disk of proper diameter and provided with depending; feet I, that rest upon studs 6 of frame E, similarly to the mounting of frame E on frame A. From the sides of the inner feet I of disk I project inclined studs 2', from which in turn project lateral cars 11, which engage the bifurcated lugs e, and when drum Z is tilted back form hinge-joints therewith, so that drum Z is properly directed in its movements. XVhen thrown back the drum is partly supported by part (Z.

From the bottom of disk I depend two series of concentric flanges J, which are arranged to break joints, and are adapted to evenly distribute the air to the burners.

J J are openings in disk I, through which the wick-tubes project. The openings are separated by a cross-bar J, from which rises a screw-threaded rodj. Above openings 1 are secured the burner-cones K, a proper packing being interposed between the cones and disk. The cones are inclined both at sides and ends, as at k and to insure equal airdrafts therethrough and prevent flickering of the flame. The walls of the cones converge to a narrow wick-opening, and from the edges of this opening rise the slightly-diverging opposite flanges K, which concentrate the heat on the upper edge of the wick, cans ing a more perfect combustion, and will keep the wick burned down to an even line should the wicks be raised too high. In practice it is found a thin wick will be burned off so that it will not smoke in about two minutes, and a thick Wick will be burned down in about five minutes, the greatest heat being at the junction of the flanges K with the top edges of the cone.

7s 7c are the chimneys placed over cones K, formed with converging upper sides 70, and are held in place by a double yokeK, slipped on rod j and retained by a nut, as shown. WVhen made of metal the chimneys are provided with mica sights. The lower edges of the chimney may be flanged and engaged by angular dogs I L is a sheet-metal cylinder surrounding the cones and chimneys and supported on disk I, being properly centered by a projection 2, as shown, and having a proper sight opposite the chimneys.

M is a disk having a bead M on its under surface, which engages the upper end of cylinder L and forms a tight joint therewith. M are openings in this disk above chimneys k is, separated by a rib m, and 'm is a depending. angular flange 011 said disk, which serves to retain the heated air exterior to the chimneys in the drum and increase the heat radiated therefrom. Disk M is secured in place by a nut 011 the rod j, which passes through an opening in rib m. The rod j thus forms-a bond to unite the several portions of the drum.

N is a serrated flange rising from the periphery of disk M, and n n are a series of studs rising therefrom and serving as supports for an oven or vessel which may be set thereon.

It will be seen that the entire stove can be quickly taken apart for repairs or cleaning; also, that there is both an air-space and a water-space between the flame and oil, and that the packing is so disposed that it will materially assist in keeping the heat from the oil.

The operation and other advantages of my invention, such as its peculiar joints, will be apparent from the foregoing.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. The herein-described oil-stove, comprising a base-frame having upstanding lugs a, the oil-tank supported thereon, the plate closing said tank and forming the water-pan and having flanged wick-openings, substantially as described, and the burner and drum, and the plate supporting the burner and drum, having depending lugs E, that support the same on lugs a, all substantially as specified.

3. The combination of the base-frame, and oil tank, and burnersupporting plate E, having upstanding bifurcated lugs c, with the disk I, having depending feet I resting on plate E, and inclined studs '5, formed with laterally-projecting ears 1", adapted to engage the lugs e and form hinge-joints therewith, all substantially as specified.
